     Пожа́р уме́ньшился; по́сле ве́тра наста́ла вдруг тишина́, а пото́м пошёл ме́лкий ме́дленный дождь, как сквозь си́то.

     Požár uménʹšilsja; pósle vétra nastála vdrug tišiná, a potóm pošól mélkij médlennyj doždʹ, kak skvozʹ síto.

     The fire dwindled; after the wind it suddenly became still, and then came a slow, drizzling rain, as if through a sieve.
